Six Cylinders Motoring Notes

[Six-cylinder]

@ianbmw might be good at fixing Vauxhall Carltons but his horse ranching skill leave a bit to be desired. One word of instruction from Ian and the horse did as it liked!

Today we had a further session preparing the Carlton Estate for MOT.

The first task was to fit the new front discs.

Then look onto why the fanbelt was shredding, turns out the fixings for the cam cover was broken. Now we know what is wrong we can go back to it.

The big success tonight was getting the o-s rear subframe bush into place.

Abusive and bullying employer? Paid in tea and cookies? I’m sure there are laws….

We got the union involved and reach and agreement where one side is painted and the others side remains……

Until the MOT man gives me stick over it

She is a lady of impeccable taste! I suggest we reconvene tomorrow to finish the estate before focusing our attention on the superior saloon

I agree the Estate needs finishing, but is an undernourished, manual, Carlton Saloon worth the effort!

In 1993 this one was my new company car.
